Patrones de especialización de la investigación nacional sobre Salud

Abstract

Introducción: los estudios cienciométricos utilizan indicadores relativos para la caracterización temática de la producción científica, para identificar las principales fortalezas y debilidades de un país en un dominio del conocimiento. Objetivo: hacer la caracterización temática de la producción científica cubana sobre salud indexada en Scopus durante el período 1996-2010, a partir de patrones de especialización temática. Métodos: estudio descriptivo. Se compilaron datos relativos al número total de documentos indexados por Scopus, así como la productividad y la tasa de crecimiento anual. Se calculó el índice de especialización temática de la producción científica. Resultados: el índice de especialización temática de la producción científica cubana sobre salud alcanzó niveles superiores con respecto a la región y el mundo. Los mayores índices de especialización se alcanzaron en dominios temáticos donde, a su vez, Cuba exhibe importantes indicadores de salud. Las investigaciones publicadas en revistas nacionales indexadas por Scopus influyeron de manera decisiva en el índice de especialización de las principales categorías temáticas estudiadas. Conclusiones: las ciencias de la salud de manera general, y particularmente la salud pública, tienen un rol protagónico dentro de la producción científica nacional.

Introduction: scientometric studies use relative indicators for the thematic characterization of scientific production, in order to identify the strengths and weaknesses of a country in a knowledge domain. Objective: the use of specialization patterns for the thematic characterization of the Cuban scientific production in health indexed by Scopus during the 1996-2010 period. Methods: descriptive study. The total number of documents covered by Scopus as well as the productivity and the annual growth rate were compiled. The thematic specialization index of the scientific production was estimated. Results: the thematic specialization index of the Cuban scientific production in health achieved higher levels than those of the Latin American region and the world. The highest indexes went to thematic domains where Cuba shows important health indicators. The published research papers in national journals covered by Scopus have a decisive influence on the specialization index of the main studied thematic categories. Conclusions: health sciences in general, and particularly the public health, have a leading role in the Cuban scientific production. Key words: Scientometrics, bibliometric indicators, specialization index, health sciences, public health, Cuba.
